It's great that 50% of accounts are now eligible, but as I use Linux I still can't use a Jagex Account whether I'm eligible or not. Is there some ETA on when this is going to be fixed?
We've got an article on the support centre that provides some guidance for Linux users, head over here to see if it's of use!
Can you tell us why you are called Mod Goblin?

Plz don’t show jagex this they’re just gonna be like “oh hell yeah we don’t have to do shit for Linux users now”
Linking to a reddit thread for support, lmao. What if the user changes it to delete every file on your computer?
Oh it's fine since you added: Jagex is not responsible for the maintenance and safety of content produced and hosted by third parties and any use of third-party sites is at your own risk.
I'm not sure if you've read the thread that's linked, but the comment contains methodology using Wine and Runelite files, the user provides no download links and it's effectively common practise for emulation on Linux, just made easier and directly related to being able to make use of the Jagex Launcher.
At this stage it's not something we're able to officially support, hence us highlighting various examples of users providing guidance to help out other Linux users.
Does the launcher automatically launch RL if already downloaded on your device? Or do you need to uninstall and reinstall?
The Launcher includes a dropdown where you can choose between the vanilla client and Runelite. If you've already got Runelite installed it should just launch as normal, if not then the Launcher should set Runelite up for you.
Can you tell us why you are called Mod Goblin?
Can you tell us why're you're named after the COX toilet paper?
Until I can afk RS3 while playing OSRS there's no point signing up.
Assuming you're playing on different characters you can, but I don't think the game works in a way that the same character could be logged in to both OSRS and RS3 simultaneously.
Do I need to re configure all my runelite plugins and redownload the ones from the plugin hub if I convert over?
I'm pretty sure most of that is saved locally, if you've already got Runelite installed it'll just boot as normal - I didn't have to do any reconfiguring when I made the switch!
Can you tell us why're you're named after the COX toilet paper?
You first.
Sorry, i'm a bit lost on the security portion of the update. If my recovery info is out there, and someone gets access to my account, can they still remove the authenticator on the osrs account and log in?
If your character is tied to your Jagex Account, the only person who should be able to recover it is you - hence the importance of as many players as possible upgrading to a Jagex Account.
Will i still be able to play my account on mobile if i switch to jagex accounts/client?
You can still log in on mobile using a Jagex Account, yes!
You first.
It was on account of my goopy goblin gamer brain. I didn't have the foresight to realise I'd have to read 84 'goblin deez' or 'mind goblin' jokes a day for my forseeable professional future, but I'm not mad about it
Is there any update as to when the HDOS client will be available on the Jagex Launcher? I understand that its both sides that need to work on this, but an update from either would be really nice.
Even if the update is simply "we are working on it, but don't have an ETA yet".
So at this stage of the beta, our focus is solely on making sure the Jagex Accounts system is solid and serving players properly. HDOS remains an approved client, and while it isn't on the Launcher at this time - we aren't ruling it out at this stage!
Is the launcher able to select different runelite shortcuts/profiles for different OSRS accounts?
By default it's not, though I feel like this is circumvented a little with RuneLite's recent 'profiles' feature? Though I understand this might be a little cumbersome to set up for the first time. :(
What do you see yourself goblin in five years?
Mail. Posties beware.
How do you access the back up codes for your account?
I signed up and everything but was never shown any backup codes and can't find them anywhere.
Hey! So if you missed it the first time around, you should be able to log in to your Jagex account and head to your Jagex Account settings (should be this link).
Once you're there, under the 'Two-step Authentication' section, you'll have an option to 'Replace' your Backup codes if you missed them, it'll give you a new set of backup codes - make sure to note them down and never show them to anybody else!
u/JagexGoblin
I know this sounds like a weird question, but can we reorder the accounts linked to a JAcc?Currently one of my alts got invited and I'd wish the more important accounts linked first
I'm not exactly sure what you mean? As in, re-order them in the dropdown?
When this goes fully open, is there any reason I WOULDNT want to import all of my accounts, including my very first one from 2005?
There shouldn't be - some things in the short term might include lack of HDOS on the Jagex Launcher at this stage, but if you're looking to secure your account properly then it's absolutely in your interests to import them all to a secure Jagex Account.
When I first heard about Jagex accounts, I thought it would be a hub similar to World of Warcrafts character hub where i can have multiple characters but only be logged into one at a time. I was excited at the proposition to try another hcim account. This isnt the case tho correct? If i tie in a 2nd account to my 1 jagex account i still have to pay for 2 memberships?
You're correct, it's just a way for you to secure as many characters as you like under a single, secure Jagex Account. For many players this will be converting a single OS account/character into a single Jagex Account, for others they'll be importing several characters into one Jagex Account. You still have to pay membership per character.
Hi modGoblin. I tied my character to Jagex account and it said I also could use runelite. Now it says I can only use the official client, is this a bug?
The Jagex Launcher should have a drop-down allowing you to select 'Runelite' instead of the official client when you're picking a character to log in on. Can you provide any more details?
The option to replace them is grayed out. Do I need to set that up first? I was reading and saw that its tied to mobile authenticator. Do I need to have that enabled (rather than email code) to get the back up codes? Thanks.
I'd say give it a go with authenticator app (I could be wrong but I think using an MFA app on a secure device is considered better OpSec over email auth), if still greyed out and no backup codes then I'll get in touch with the team to try and understand the issue.
I play on 32-bit Linux OS through Runelite, but the official client isn't supported in Linux. If I made a Jagex Account, I'd be locked out of my account, right?
Replied to this in another comment, but for your benefit: we're not able to officially support Linux at the moment. We have a Support article up detailing ways other players have found to install Jagex Launcher on Linux if it's of any use: https://help.jagex.com/hc/en-gb/articles/13413514881937
Are we expected to make multiple jagex accounts if we have more than 10 osrs accounts? (Yes i have more than 10 accounts, no i don’t play them all at once)
Sorry for the delay on this one, was waiting for a response to make sure I don't misinform.
At this point we're looking to collect more feedback (part of what the beta is for) in terms of how many characters makes sense. For the time being you'll only be able to import 10 characters to a Jagex Account - that number may change in future.
It'd be useful for us to know exactly how many characters you're looking to be able to import onto the same Jagex Account?
I received an invite, but I noticed it only says PC and I play on Mac and mobile. Not sure if it’s just an issue of me not looking into it further, but do I actually have access or do I still gotta wait for Mac compatibility?
The Jagex Launcher is also available on macOS, so you shouldn't have any issues using it! If you do, there is a support guide here you can use for more info.
Hey, just to confirm, linking your RS account to a Jagex Account invalidates all recovery info (such as recovery questions, old passwords, payment info etc)?
Yoinking directly from this Support article: https://help.jagex.com/hc/en-gb/articles/13495559329937-Jagex-account-recovery
"To ensure security, Jagex Accounts have no manual account recovery procedures that may be subject to human error. Follow these steps to recover your account yourself."
Good news if you’re part of the closed beta - a new security feature censors your login ID and password accords the entire internet, as part of a super security buff. Look at my login ID: *******65@.* and password ***********

Edit: wtf
(also please don't do this, somebody will unironically fall for this, it shouldn't matter much if they've got two-factor authentication set up properly but still :( )
Are passwords case-sensitive yet?
Jagex Account passwords are case-sensitive and allow the use of special characters too!
Yo... you honored your side of the deal... where's the explanation for COX TP? u/JagexArcane gonna get a banboozle if you try to bamboozle us!
Honestly can't even remember anymore. I think it was just because of it being the meme of CoX loot, always arcane, etc.
I have multiple accounts, how can I link them all under one jagex account?
Assuming one of your accounts has received an invite, you should be able to import any of your other accounts using the steps in the video from the blog (or this link for the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1uxP6oojwI).
I was able to successfully import a few accounts, but am seeing "The web server is not reachable" when I try others. Is this a known issue?
Think this is a rate limiter to prevent overloading, if you try again later on you should find yourself able to continue importing!
From that link
The email address associated with your Jagex account is the one you use to log in and the one we use to send account-related emails. If you've lost access to your email, we suggest contacting your email service provider to try to regain access. If you can't recall the email address linked to your Jagex account, we suggest trying to log in using any previous email addresses that you can remember. For the sake of optimal account security, we're unable to modify your Jagex account email or disclose it to you.
Sounds like if you lose your email, one way or another, your account is gone for good. Though it doesn’t explicitly state that old recovery information is being wiped.
This is exactly what the backup codes are for, they're your last line of defence so make sure to note them down and never show them to anybody.
Do we have to use your jagex launcher to use this ? What if I want to use runelite ?
You can launch Runelite via the Jagex Launcher. But yes, upgrading to a Jagex Account will require you to use the Jagex Launcher. I've been Runelite with the Jagex launcher for months now, I think most of the players currently opted in to the beta are also using Runelite via the launcher!
Is that a Nakeyjakey reference? Nice
